Dublin is popular with U.S. tech companies, which often base their international and EU operations there. The country’s favorable corporation tax regime is often seen as a reason for IT companies to settle there—as is the small staff of its privacy regulator, which has a staff of just 29 to tackle domestic and international companies.

The office of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) will have more resources to police companies like Twitter and Facebook, which also controls its European operations from there: In December the Irish government doubled its budget, from €1.89 million (a little over US$2 million) in 2014 to €3.65 million this year.

Besides changing things for users outside of the U.S., Twitter is also adding a couple of clarifications to its privacy policy, making it easier to read and adding some extra detail, it said.

The company for instance clarified that people signing up for Twitter can use a pseudonym as their name, something that Facebook does not allow. Twitter also clarified that a phone number can be used as contact information.

The changes were made to improve support for users globally, Twitter said.
